I loved listening to his show every Saturday, and whatever was going on in our household always came to a stop while he did these segments. Regarding his transgressions, NPR was way too heavy-handed when they removed all the episodes from their site. The shows are simply too important a national resource for them to discard and should live on!

The show was never the same since they made you leave. And removing your archives was just wrong. I used to love PHC. Now I don't even listen to NPR at all anymore.

A genius story teller! It's disgusting what NPR did to "punish" him and all his listeners.

These monologues need to be brought back, even if only on the Internet. It would help to keep us sane in dangerous times.

Sometimes people screw up. I miss GK so I just stopped listening to NPR. I also propose to stop federal funding the station.

Dear Garrison, it's such a pleasure to see and hear you again ! You look great, like a young man... Bravo ! I miss your shows on MPR and The Farmers Almanac you had on WNCN. But thank God there is internet now and you are with us again.

We need news from Lake Wobegon more than ever. It is a national treasure.

For many years I would listen to Garrison Keillor on Saturday night at my home in Austin, Texas and always knew my father was listening to this show in Beaumont, Texas at the same time. It was one of those long-distance cultural bonds that we always had. Taking him off the air was a very Chinese Communist "Cultural Revolution" thing to do, where everything and everyone good was condemned until the only people left to rise to the top, and who then ruled with malevolence, were the most ignorant and mean-hearted of the lot. I am also reminded of the Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life" where the boy would banish the adults to the cornfield if they dared to say something he didn't like, and simply created at constant state of terror. Thank you, Garrison Keillor, for so many years of elevated entertainment. You are a national treasure.

Saw him last night in Fort Lauderdale. He went full-speed for over 2 hours, no notes, no breaks, he is as sharp and entertaining as ever. Check one off my bucket list!

Sure do miss this show. And Car Talk, too. My Saturdays haven't been the same.

Always great to hear from him. Saturdays, haven't been the same without him.

To be able to do that, create worlds out of thin air, recite without notes, every week...genius.

The first time I heard the News From Lake Wobegon was in 1998 on NPR radio. I used to study English that time. I was advised to listen to something interesting in English. So I accidentally heard his show on the radio. Since then my English is mush more better thanks to him and his shows.

I live in Australia and I listened to GK from the mid seventies up until he stopped. He is truly a genius at what he does. Unique. I doubt that he would ever see these comments but if he does I hope he realises there are people all over the world that admire him and his abilities.

My parents would winter in Florida, I would spend weekends at their house. I would have a log fire set in the fireplace, a standing order at a local pizza place, pick that up, light the fire, turn down the lights, turn on the radio to NPR. did this for YEARS . magic.

Wasn't the shows greatest fan, but one time driving from my parents' house in Massachusetts to my apartment in Maine near Christmas I had a total moment. Wasn't feeling good, don't like Christmas time, however, Garrison and the audience began to sing Silent Night together. I joined in and sang along all by myself on the long ride...and wept at the end of the song. It was the most enjoyable part of that holiday.

This is ( was) my Church every weekend. So glad we can access the old great shows

Having lived in Minnesota, I admit I get Garrison's humor & I wonder if others do. Their sense of humor is distinct for sure. The running jokes were about Norwegian Lutheran bachelors. Fun, really.

GK is a legendary on the fly storyteller, Twain would probably give him a round of applause.

Thank you so much for posting. I grew up in Lake Wobegon, so I so enjoyed the stories from my home town. I liked how you changed the names to protect the innocent. LOL Intelligent on point humour. Sadly missed today. Keep posting so I can reminisce of my old days in Wobegon, while I listened to your show.
